RV lot layouts + floor plans

RE is rear entertainment. What is RL ?

Wish I could answer your question about the smell. All you can do is park it and open up all the windows for a week.

I think maybe some dealers have not been affected by internet pricing yet. They still depend on people to shop locally. That's going to change. People are growing up using computers from kindergarten age (Not saying I agree with that entirely). But as these kids grow older and start recreating, they will inevitably use the Net to compare prices more so then a lot of us Boomers do, who maybe came late to the computer party.

What made you choose a RE instead of the RL?

I took another look at this FP and aside from the lack of view out the back window and overlooking the neighbor's campsite, I feel that I don't want to spend my cooking/cleaning time with my head in a corner. I would prefer to be able to face the living area to interact with my DH and guests and watch TV if I wanted to.

I guess it's a process of elimination. If I check off what I DON'T like, what will be left is what I do not object to.

I don't like it either.

I sent email to a couple known 'wholesalers' with the model and options I wanted. They replied with quotes. The quotes were close to each other. I chose Holman Motors (Batavia, Ohio), and sent them a down payment. They ordered it with the options I wanted and I drove up (1000 miles away) and picked it up after it was shipped to them from the factory.

I guess that's about the only way to get the best prices. I am assuming that you had been in one of those units prior to purchase?

Our local dealer has a unit listed at MSRP $74,400. I asked what was their best price and they said $60k. I researched the net and found some listed at $45k!

How long did it take for the "new" chemical smell to wear off? That is a concern for us.

Mine is 35'

The Bighorn series is built on the same line as the Landmark series (Heartland's premier series). They share some options and I think they share some components, but am not sure. Maybe someone who knows for sure could let us know.

Mine stickered at well over $80k. I think I got it for about $52k.

Wow!! You got more than a third off! Did you buy it wholesale, or locally?

I wish they would stop this MSRP stuff and that the manufacturers would set a real price! I do NOT like dickering!!

Maybe not exactly 40,000,000. But close.

Take a look at interior pictures of my fiver at the Bighorn site. See if you think it has more or less kitchen storage then a rear kitchen. All I know is that I have lots. Not trying to sell you a rig like mine. Just suggesting the comparison to see if there is a difference.

A road trip would answer your questions. Can't tell how deep cabinets are from a picture.

Your FP looks nearly identical to the Landmark Monterey that we saw last week. It is nice and open. We liked it, but they were asking way more than we wanted to spend. What is the length on yours?
